the sense that they furnish a moral to

great many years in the world without
accomplishing any good for mankind.
lie had great opportunities, but he per-
Verted them all to selfish purposes. Now
that the hOary-headed old sinner is to
wear striped garments, his wrinkled
face peering through the iron bars of
Sing Sing prison will make a picture
worthy the study of the young men of
this age. When they look upon it and
compare JAKE SHARP as he is with
JAKE SHARP as what he might have
been. they will be enabled to discover
the divergent paths in business life. one
of which leads to honor and the other to
dishonor. The one great lesson that will
impress itself upon their minds will be
that the man who starts out in business
life with the predetermined purpose to
accumulate wealth by raScally methods
will inevitably wind up with wrecked
career. JAKE SHARP is striking illus
tratiOn of this truth. And as he has
never accomplished any other good in
the world. Convict SHARP ought to con-

THE YACHT RACE.

''The Volunteer beat the Thistle' is
the cry ringing all over this great ma
ton this morning, while American
pride jumps up forty degrees Fahren-
heit. And if somebody were to stop to
inquire of the huzzahing multitude
what all the hubbub is about not
mothers son of them could tell any
thing more than that the Volunteer
beat the Thistle in the first of a
series of yacht races, and that
is all they know about it. And
suppose that the Volunteer beats the
Thistle in all three of the races-what
particular national advantage do we de-
rive from it? Of what use are sail
yachts to our commerce, or of what
benefit would they be in strengthening
our naval equipments? The sail yacht
is really of no more consequence to
either our commerce or our maritime
power than a dug-out canoe. And vet
the whole nation is in jubilant commo-
ton over the fact that little Yankee
built Sailboat beat little Scotch craft
by twenty minutes in thirty-eight-mile
sailing race. 1t only serves to illustrate
what an eXcitable people we Americans
are, and what an amount of hurrahing
VTe could do over an insignificant matter.

Died in a Well,

JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. 26.-Abraham c..
Hartley lost his life yesterday at his
farm near here while saving the life of
another. A well was being sunk on his
place and, coming to bed of rock at
the depth of twenty-five feet, Charles
Kaehlert of this city, who was doing
the digging, fired blast of dynamite in
the well to break the rock. A few mo-
ments after the discharge Kaehlert de-
scended the well and called out that he
could hear water bubbling, but almost
Immediately he began groaning and
calling for help. Mr.. Hartley at once
lowered himself and found Kaehlert i'll
sensible. Hartley tied rope around
the mans body and he was drawn to
the surface by some of the neighbors
present. The rope was then lowered to
Hartley and when called to he made no
reply. No one dared venture into the
well. but after considerable labor, a
moose at the end of rope was secured
around his body and he was drawn to
the surface. dead. Kaehlert was re-
viyed and will live.

IA question FOUtf farcnCS = re ASK

Ella Francis and Ellis Burton, two
widely known young people of respect
able and comfortable parents at Eliza

teen years of age, well formed and as
pretty as any girl in the city. She is
said to have had more male admirers
than any three girls in the city, but until
she met Burton no one could claim that

any other uld.
About year ago she met Burton. who
is cook looking and about twenty years
of age. The two seemed to exchange
their love after being in each others
company but short time, and after

former companions of both sexes, until
finally the young men declared that
Ella was so '.clean gone" on THAT fOOl'

Burton was liked by Elias parents
and they made no objections to his visit

matters went along as before. One day
this week Ella said she would go and
spend the day with her sister. She did
not return at night and her father went
to his daughters house, only to learn
that the yOunfier daughter had not been
there. Inquiry also revealed the fact
that young Burton had not been home
i'll two days.
The next day Mr.. Francis received a
letter from the runaway girl. dated
Newark, which said that she and Ellis

money they would start for Chicago,

STRAY suNREAMs


With NEEBE in Joliet and JAKE SHARP in
Sing Sing it begins to look as if those twin
monsters of American society, anarchism
and boodleism, were being wounded unto
death.
The difference in JAKE SHARp's and JAY
GoULD's methods of accommodating money
was the result of their different estimates of
human fallibility. SHARP be lieyed that ever
man had his price and the way to get a
man when he was wanted was to buv him
outright. Gould has more confidence in the
honesty of human nature. When he wanted
man he laid plans to entrap him. And when
he captured his victim he adopted the East
ern plan of appropriating the spoils.

Secretary WHITNEY has been making an
experiment with ZALINsKI's new dynamite

made in New York harbor, where an old yes

Cardinal Gibbons.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Cardinai Gibbons
arrived in Chicago to-day en- route to the
far West. He entered a carriage and
was driven direct to the residence of
Archbishop Feehan. Before he entered
his carriage the cardinal was halted by a
reporter. 'What of Dr.. McGlynn?" he
was asked.
''Dr. McGlynn's star has waned. The
interest in him has almost completely
died out, for the papers speak seldom OF
him. DR.. McGlynn was good man,
and it is my earnest wish that he will be
brought to realization of his indiscre-
tons and ask the pardon of his Holi-
ness"
Further the cardinal would not say. A
magnificent banquet was rendered him
this afternoon in the large hall of the
Cathedral school on Chicago avenue and
Cass street. After grace the cardinal
said he was glad to welcome body of
clergymen from such an archdiocese,
under charge of Archbishop Feehan.
The cardinal also dwelt at great length
upon the growing power of the church
i'll the Western country.

Burlington & Northern.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-It has leaked out
that the Chicago, Burlington & North
ern has given absolute notice of with
drawal from the Western and North
western railway freight bureau. The
notice of withdrawal is dated Sept. %.
and in accordance with the terms of the
agreement goes into effect fifteen days
from that date. This action on the part
of the Burlington u Northern is almost
certain to lead to general break up of
the Western and Northwestern pool.
which, of course, means still more cut
ting of rates and relentless competition
that have prevailed heretofore. The
Burlington d Northern was only inter
ested in the Northwestern end of the
combination, and its withdrawal would
not necessarily mean break I'D of the
Western end of the combination. if it
was not for the fact that the Milwaukee
is determined, and has so notified Chair
man Faithorn, that any cut in the rates
made by the Burlington & Northern be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul and Mime
apolis would be promptly met with a
corresponding reduction in rates be-
tween Chicago and Council Bluffs and
Omaha. Consequently collapse of the
Northwestern branch of the association
also implies the same result for the
Western branch, or, in other words, the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy will be
held responsible for the action of tie

FROM RANGE TO MARKET.

There is field for the new dressed
beef company which is seeking to take
the place of the company which was the
special pride of the late lamented De
MOres. and the field is one that the peo-
pie should aid in broadening, forbesides
being profit-making institution, the
new company cOntemplateS the confer
ring of very practical benefit upon
the public at large.
1t aims to give them fresh dressed
beef at reasonable prices; beef brought
from the range to the market without
the intermediation of middlemen, and
the consequent saving to the consumer
OF the profit which these Intermediates
have been enjoying. The scheme is
huge one, involving as it does agencies
for the dressed beef in every city in the
Union, but with men like ARMOUR in
terested in it, there is little reason-to
doubt its success.
Americans have long surpassed the
English as nation of beef eaters, and
many poor people who, coming from
foreign lands have found a new
home on our hoSpitable shores, have in
this country been able to regard meat in
the light OF necessary instead of lux
ury, as was the case abroad. Anything.
therefore, that not only maintains the
price of good, wholesome meat at a
reasonable standard, but has tendency
to lower it still further, is public ben
efaction. deserving of the warmest en-
couragement.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that the
ARMOUR company in taking its prelimi-
nary steps will meet with every possible
assistance.

TORONTO, Sept. 27.-Owing to the
protracted drouth, bush fires are pre-
vailing throughout Ontario and Quebec.
AT Montreal navigation has been stop
ped by the density of the smoke from
the burning timber. Serious fires are
raging about Chateaugay ,Caughnawam.
St.Jerome and Terrelbonne,in in the prov
ince of Quebec, and the people are suf-
fering terribly. The fires in upper
Ottawa are raging with ter
rible fury. In the city of Ottawa
the smoke is so dense that objects cannot
be seen more than half a block. away.
In the neighborhood of Kingston incal-
culable damage has been done, and
the farmers have been fighting the
flames for days. In all directions
from the town of Pembroke the fires
rage, and the farmers have lost every
thing, buildings, crops and cattle being
destroyed. Unless rain sets in at once
it is hard to realize what the loss in the
aggregate to these two provinces will be.
